A pre-application has been submitted for new six-story affordable housing at 730 Stanyan Street in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco. The project proposal includes the construction of residential units intended to house homeless households. Commercial spaces will be located on the ground floor, serving the surrounding neighborhood. OMA is the design architect while YA Studio is the executive architect of the project.

The site is across the street from Golden Gate Park, one of the largest urban parks in the city, with many acres of outdoor and indoor amenities.

The plan for 731 Stanyan looks like a hospital or a Soviet apartment block, or a gussied up prison. This is not even good enough for downtown.It is totally out of scale and style for the Haigh Ashbury. The neighbors and even the homeless deserve better. Shame on you! Back to the drawing board! Broader sidewalks! More landscaping! Less uniformity! MH Briscoe
